Epigenome-Wide Assessment of DNA Methylation in the Placenta and Arsenic Exposure in the New Hampshire Birth Cohort Study (USA)
Conclusions: These data demonstrate the potential for arsenic, even at levels commonly experienced in a US population, to have effects on the DNA methylation status of specific genes in the placenta and thus supports a potentially novel mechanism for arsenic to impact long-term children’s health.
